How to Use Epsom Salt As a Laxitive

The generic name for Epsom salt is magnesium sulfate, which has a wide variety of uses to improve a person's health. For example, Epsom salt is approved by the FDA for use as a laxative. If you're having trouble moving your bowels, take Epsom salt orally. Of course, if you have any other medical conditions or allergies, you should seek advice from your physician first.
